A remarkable Occurrence.

New YORK, March 5.-Washing ton
Irving Bishop, the famous mind reader,
gave a peculiarly trying test of his
powers this afternoon at the Hoffman
House in the presence of mem
bers of the press, theatrical
profession, lawyers, doctors and
others. He borrowed q brooch
from Mrs. Frank Leslie, which
he gave to committee of four
gentlemen previously chosen from
the audience, telling them to conceal
it any where within a mile of the
hotel. The committee drove off in
carriage, returning after half an hours
absence. Bishop was then blindfolded.
This was done by tying cotton batting
around his eyes. Then black flag was
put over his head, and fastened in
around his neck. A two-seated open
carriage was waiting al the door, andiin
this Mr.. Bishop and three members>ot
the committee took seats, and Bishop
took the reins and drove off through the
great crowd of people and vehicles,
guiding the, horses with remarkable
dexterity, considering that he couldn' t
use his eyes. He drove over devious
route, and just near the south
east corner of the GEamercy
Park, stopped the vehicle and
alighted, the committee following.
A large crowd had run after the wagon,
all the way from the Hoffman House.
and Bishop had hard work to get
through the throng that focEed about
him. He crossed the street, and pro-
ceeded along east of Gramercy Park,
until he reached the entrance to Gram
Grey Park Hotel, which he turned,
without hesitation, walked iato areom.
and placed his hand on a vase watch
rested on the table. He had his band
there for few seconds, and then re-
quested that the vase be removed. His
wish was complied with, and he picked
the brooch up from the table, where it
had been left by the committee

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
An Effort to Induce the President to
Sign It Fails.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-An effort has
been made since the adjournment of
Congress to induce the President to
sign the river and hsrbor bill, and those
interested in securing this section as
sert that there is nothing in the
constitution to prevent his doing
so now II he Is so disposed.
oeYeral members OF Congress, in
Guiding Representatives Willis and
Dibble, are aware that he has the
power and have endeayored TO per-
suade him to sign the bill. Mr.. Willis
said, to-day, that there was nothing in
the Constitution which provided that
the President should sign d bill before
II o'clock on the 4th of March, or that
he should report the fact of his sigma
nature to the House

gress Was $25O,OOO,OOO.
Presidential Pardons.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Pres
ident acted on large number OF par
don cases yesterday. Norman H.
Camp was convicted of embezzlement
and sentenced in January, 1886, to five
years Imprisonment at hard labor in
the Territorial prison at Idaho, to paw a
fine of 81 900 and stand committed until
paid. The President granted a pardon
in this case, and endorsed the applica-
ton as follows: I'm my opinion, there
have been grave doubts as to the guilt
of this convict He has been imprisoned
under his sentence for more than
year, and his character prior to the
conviction and his surroundings are, I
think, sufficient guaranty in any event
of his future good conduct"
A pardon was also granted in the
case of He Ying and He Lung, who
were convicted in the eastern district of
Arkansas Of violating the internal
revenue tax, and sentenced to thirty
davs' confinement and pay g. fine OF
500. The Presidents endorsement on
their case was: "It any part of the
sentence in their case remains unexe-
cuted, let the conyicts be pardoned; if
not, let the matter remain as it is.
The thirty days imprisonment expired
long ago. If they are still detained for
the fine let that and all else be RENTED
The President also granted,a pardon
in the case of j. w. Alder, convicted of
violating the postal laws and sentenced,
September 10Th, 1886, to one years inn
prisonment in the United States Peni-
Tertiary st McNeils Island, Washing
ton Territory. He endorsed the appli-
cation: Granted upon the ground
tn at owing TO the youth of the convict
and the circumstances of the case | am
satisfied that the ends of justice Will be
as well subseryed by the punishment
already suffered, and the prospects of
the boy as well secured by the impris-
onment of the months already suffered
as if he were longer confined lie his
place of imprisonment"
Similar action was taken in the case
of Joseph II. Evans, who was convicted
of polygamy and unlawful cohabita-
ton, and sentenced, November lst,
1884, to five years and six months in
the Utah Penitentiary, and to pay a
fine of $3.50. The President endorsed |
this application as follows: "Granted.
This convict is nearly 70 years old; was
convicted of polygamy and unlawful
He has been imprisoned
more than two years, and his pardon
s prayed for by his legal wife. Though
ne will not promise to obey the law
against polygamy, yet am deter
mined that the hardship of his case
hall not be cited TO show that the gov
,rnment is inclined to be vindictive in
is attempt to eXtirpate the practice of
,olygamy."
